Denise Flaherty, RYT 200

Instructor

Inspiring Actions LLC

Every once and a while, it seems, employers will absolutely hit it out of the park. Denise happened to work for one that opened a fitness center…JACKPOT! On-site classes at work provided her introduction to yoga, and years of a steady practice later, she took advantage of retirement and completed a yoga teacher training program. Denise teaches our Karma Gentle Yoga class at Inspiring Actions, and students will notice that she loves to explore multiple limbs of yoga in each class. Not only does Denise guide gentle postures (asana), but she routinely integrates focused breathing (pranayama), and meditation (dhyana) into the practice. But it doesn’t stop in the studio! Denise is a believer in taking those same breathing principles we learn on the mat out into our everyday lives—for her, it comes with animal training, snowshoeing, golf, and kayaking —so don’t be shy about asking if you’re curious what kind of breathwork could support your activities.   Related Certifications: 235-hour RYT certification, Devanadi Yoga, Minneapolis, MN Trauma-Informed Yoga, Yoga Vidya Elemental Meditation, Yoga Vidya
